I was wondering if anyone had some good quality screen captures or actual tile rips from DoS and/or PoR? I found a few low-res images with Google image search but they weren't very helpful.
I want to view them for educational purposes. Maybe I can study them and draw some ideas/inspiration for my own Vampiria stage designs.
Looking at the screens I found with Google, DoS looks nice. I think it looks just as good (if not slightly better than) as SotN.

I hear tell from the IRC channel that there be emulator programs that can now display images bettarrrr... thus, you might be able to get yourself some screenies on your own.
That's what I hear anyway.

Is that a fact now? Looks like I'm going to have to look into that... Thx for the info. 8)

Will do. :D
My initial impression: the graphics in DoS are really nice. Regardless of what I think about this game personally, it looks great.

My style is totally different obviously(a lot darker) but I think I will be able to draw a lot of inspiration from the art in the DS games.
I will examine PoR next. I have heard its graphics aren't as good as DoS, but I shall see.

NICE, thanks for the screens. The graphics look different in style than DoS... I'm not saying they're better or worse, but definitely different.
Any more screens would be appreciated. I could spend all day looking at this stuff and never get bored.

Have those then. I've been grabbing some shots for the chapel's articles about the games, so i have some of por's there and will have dos later on too, since now there's an emulator that actually shows the village correctly and doesn't crash on 3d backgrounds.

Since we're putting our shots on display, I'll toss some out there, too.

The emulator works for the most part, but for some reason in certain rooms the background layer will black out entirely.

Most of these are captures I've been doing for my own tile-ripping purposes. Enjoy!

this is the best setup i've got with PoR, just incase anyone has emu troubles.
it runs about 70-75% for me, which isn't to bad.
going to try DoS later.

me playing boss rush.
for some reason, i get a different pallate with the emu than the DS, which is acctually kind of cool
-
DoS runs about 70-80% for me, as well. It has a slight choppiness, but beyond that it emulates pretty well.
It's good to know the framerate problem is due to the emulation and not my system specs.

that's all of his sprites(i think).
still needs a pallate though.

This kind of rip is useless generally though. 99% of homebrewers have no use for tiled monsters. So here, I put those together some time ago for my game using my ds and pausing a lot, then fixing them to be more less accurate using the videos from official konami site.
Palettes accurate since I hacked them out of the rom code itself.

Wow good job Serio! The Werewolf was awesome, it's a shame he's so easy though.

nice rip!
i might rip some stuff later, and assemble with the pause method, maybe some PoR exclusive enemies.

To prevent that from happening, I hear tell that you've to change the SRAM type to something-or-other.... don't remember. I think it's on the first page here, but if not, I'm sure someone knows. :P

That werewolf may be among one of the most detailed and bad-ass bosses I have ever seen in any Castlevania game. I wish all bosses looked that great (and terrifying).
